Quick Avocado and Mango Salad

I put this together in just a few minutes. I always prefer salads like this over ones that have lettuce as the base. I'm not a huge fan of lettuce salads unless they're smothered in creamy dressing, and that kind of defeats the purpose of eating salad.

 Avocado and Mango Salad
Makes 1-2 servings

Ingredients
  • 1 avocado, peeled and diced
  • 1 mango, peeled and diced 
  • 1-2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • juice of 1/2 a lime
  • pink salt
  • black pepper 
Directions 
  1. Mix everything together and serve immediately. Can be stored in the fridge for a short time, but the sooner you eat it the better.
